A rough estimate says that each hour of parliament's functioning costs Rs.25 lakh to the national exchequer.
Political analyst George Mathew said frequent disruptions send bad messages to the people.
He said that the MPs had their rights but also responsibility towards the people and that the protest by the opposition should be symbolic.
"How much energy, time and money is wasted due to disruptions. They (the MPs) have a responsibility towards India's people," Mathew told IANS.
Mathew, who is chairman of the Institute of Social Sciences, said he was not against the principle of no work, no pay for MPs as crores of rupees of taxpayers' money is used in running parliament. "Some checks and balances are needed," he said.
Subash Chandra Agrawal, an RTI activist, said frequent disruptions were a huge wastage of taxpayers' money.
"The rules should be made strict for those who come near the podium of the house," Agrawal said.
Former Lok Sabha secretary general Subash C. Kashyap said a reason for disruptions was the "weak and unstable" nature of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government.
"The government is staying in power because of outside support and these parties keep asking for their pound of flesh. The government is not in a position to risk frequent voting," Kashyap told IANS.
Kashyap said "no work, no pay" was not a practical solution to frequent disruptions and fundamental changes have to be made.
"A majority of members in the present Lok Sabha have been elected by minority of votes. The winning candidate should have at least 50 percent plus one vote."
The government has listed 25 bills for passing in the winter session.
BJP leader Nirmala Sitharaman said the government had the responsibility of running the house and its "adamancy" caused disruptions.
